DUBLIN, June 10.-The evictions at
BOdyke were resumed to-day, and there
was a repetition of the exciting scenes
which have attended the numerous at
tempts to evict tenants. The Sheriff
and his body guard were stubbornly re-
sisted at the house of tenant named
O'Halloran. The hillside near the
house was covered with an excited mob |
who cheered the defenders of the prem
ises and urged them to hold out. |
O'Halloran and his party had dug
trench around the house and baTTicaded
the lower rooms, while the upper por-
ton of the house was occupied by ten
men, including two who had returned
from America and some women. The
bailiffs made an attack on the wall of
the house with crowbars but were re-
ceived with scalding water and fed.
The Inspector of Police with drawn
sword then mounted ladder placed
against the side of the house
but was beaten down. A constable
with a rifle and fixed bayonet next
mounted the ladder but his head was
battered by the defenders. Several
gashes were inflicted upon him and he
retired. Another constable also at
tempted to climb the ladder, but failed.
n SScOnu iduutT was Gnen prOCuT0u
and several constableS mounted it. but
were beaten down. Mr.. Cox essayed to
climb up the ladder to speak to the in
mates of the house but the police pre-
vented him from doing SO. Finally
constable entered with rifle and fixed
bayonet, but the rifle was wrested from
him and his safety was imperiled,
when Father Harmon entered and Sc
cured cessation of hostilitieS. The
iT1T l,a
work of eviction was carried out.
A FAMINE IMMINENT.
LONDON, June 10.-A famine is i'm
minent in the city of Meshed and
throughout the whole provision of
KhoraSsan. The Russians are trying
to prevent the people from emigrating
to the Trans-C Caspian territories.
THE EGYPTIAN CONVENTION.
In the House of Lords to-day Mar
quis Salisbury presented the Egyptian
Convention. | England is to eYacuate
Egypt in three years. The right to APP
point English officers over the native
army ceases at the end of five years.
England retains the right to send
troops to Egypt in the event of eXter-
nal or internal disorders. The cOnven-
ton is not TO be valid unless ratified by
the powers.
IN THE COMMONS.
In the House of Commons this even
ing w. II. Smith moved the resolution
previously announced requesting at 10
p. m. on the 18th inst. the Chairman
forthwith put the question on any mo-
tion or amendment proposed to the
clause in the Crimes bill then Under
discussion, then on the clause itself,
finally on each remaining clause. lie
urged this step was forced on the Coy
eminent by continued obstruction and
was absolutely necessary for the dig
nifty and efficiency of the House. The
deliberate attempts to prevent progress
of business should be defeated. 1t is
now the fourth month in the session
and practically nothing has been done.
The whole course of legislation has
sired that due consideration be given
the rights of the minority and respect
shown for the traditions, liberty and
freedom attached to the institutions
of the country, (derisive Parnellite
laughterl, but it was undoubtedly the
duty of the Government in a circum-
stance without parallel in the history
the House to take meas
ures to prevent the minority from
setting at defiance the controlling pow
er of the majority. 1t is impossible
for the Government representing the
majority to yield to the obstruction of
the minority. The Government might
be displaced by an adverse vote and
then be bound to appeal to the country,
but while sustained by the majority of
the House they must carry on the bust
ness of the country. The debates over
the crimes bill have become a travesty,
bringing ridicule, disgrace and contempt
upon Parliament. He appealed to the
House to support the Government in
trying to restore order in the proceed
ings fCheersl. Gladstone said longer
notice should be given to this import
ness and the entire paralysis of Parlia-
ment caused intense dissatisfaction
throughout the country, but this posi-
ton has been brought about by the
Government themselves. Cries of
''HearI'' Hearth. They have been
pursuing the false and evil policy of CO.
eTciOn without justification, pleaded on
former occasion. They disregarded all
usage and traditions of Parliament
in the conduct of measure, which
they, under the name of crime bill in
troduced, measure directed against
combination apart from crime (hear,
hear). He would suggest to the Gov
eminent a rational mode to expedite
bill woule be to make it temporary
instead of permanent and to
strike out all provisions toudhing
ing Irish tenants the same protection in
respect to their land grant strikes, as
given English artisans in labor strikes.
Cheers and cries of ''No.") If the
Government rejected that remedy and
had no other to propose and the Of
fensive character of the bill be: returned
in full force, he did not wish to create
difficulty in offering opposition. which
he knew would be Intellectual. He
would therefore content himself with
protesting against the course now pro-
posed.
Parnell said he could not understand
the faulty of the Government rushing
blindfOlded along the road which they
already saw would lead to the greatest
disorder in ireland. The Government
speakers harped on the theme of OBJ
Struction. AS a matter of fact the
Irish members had not lifted one voice
cion bill. which they were bound to re-
sist to the utmost. The cry of OBJ
struction was not genuine when raised
by men who did not desire to advance
public business. Let the Government
proceed with real business of the nation
| instead of wasting time over the
crimes bill applying to nation where
| crime 1t is admitted is at minimum.
He concluded by assailing the opposi-
| ton.
Sir VIM. Vernon Hareourt warned
the Government that their proposal
might be used by a future government
as a precedent for carrying the home
| rule bill in q fortnight that other
measures might be forced through in
another way.
Goschen, Chancellor of the exche-
quer, said the preceding speaker might
amuse the house but would not deceive
the country. The Government made
no attempt to stop discussion on i'm
portant clauses of the bill. Parliament
and the country had enough of this I'M
limited discussion. 1t was necessary
now to put an end to it. Several Par.
nellites continued the discussion.
Smith moved the cioture. Carried.
